Association of kidney function with frailty prevalence in the Seattle Kidney Study

Frail Cases (no./no. at risk) Model 1 (n=336) Model 2 (n=336)
eGFRcys
 ≥60 ml/min/1.73m2 8/99 1.0 (reference) 1.0 (reference)
 45–59 ml/min/1.73m2 6/74 1.3 (0.5–3.6) 1.2 (0.4–3.3)
 30–44 ml/min/1.73m2 19/88 3.3 (1.5–7.4) 2.8 (1.3–6.3)
 <30 ml/min/1.73m2 14/75 2.6 (1.1–5.9) 2.1 (1.0–4.7)
eGFRcys p-for-trend 0.01 0.01
Age (per 10y older) 0.9 (0.7–1.1) 0.9 (0.8–1.2)
Non-white race 1.8 (1.1–3.1) 1.9 (1.1–3.3)
Female 0.9 (0.5–1.6) 1.2 (0.6–2.2)
BMI (per 5-kg/m2 difference) -- 1.2 (1.0–1.4)
Diabetes -- 1.4 (0.8–2.4)
Any cardiovascular disease -- 1.0 (0.6–1.7)
Log(CRP) -- 1.2 (0.9–1.5)

Except where indicated, values shown are prevalence ratio (95% confidence interval). Model 1: estimated glomerular filtration rate, sex, age, race (white versus other). Model 2: Model 1 + BMI + Diabetes + Any cardiovascular disease (CVD) + Log C-reactive protein.

Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index; CRP, C-reactive protein; eGFRcys, estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by the CKD-EPI equation incorporating nonstandardized cystatin C level, age, sex, and race.
